Tensilica is an independent Santa Clara based company specializing in cores that work in the system-on-a-chip (SOC) dataplane, where the hardest data-intensive work is done.

With support for the Multicore Association's Multicore Communications API (MCAPI), Poly-Platform is a collection of productivity tools and a runtime communications stack for multicore architectures. It is positioned as an engineering tool for configuration and reconfiguration application tasks. The technology supports rebuilding for new multicore solutions, and existing code may be reused and scaled from one to many cores.

"The combination of ThreadX and Poly-Platform for Xtensa provides multicore configurability from the application level to the silicon," said Ted Gribb, vice president of sales, PolyCore Software. "This capability optimizes the application-specific multicore platform while accelerating time to market."
